Driving academy progress didn't save...

[Mraska]

I completed whole driving academy. A week after I went back to the game and found out that my progress is 0 in the driving school. Weird.

Are you using the same profile?

I learned pretty quickly that the Driving Academy data is stored in the active user profile. If you change profiles(or delete it), then your progress won't show.

I don't believe that this will help any as the academy data is stored separately. For some reason SCS decided to create a new academy directory in the currently active profile despite the Driving Academy not being associated with any particular profile.

It's saving separate because it is separate. ;) Driving Academy is a "module", just as the regular driving career is. And, like that normal career, progress is based on the profile. Different profile, different progress.

And if it is a per Profile basis then that mode should let one choose in advance which profile you want to use, as it is not stated anywhere that settings & stuff are taken from whatever profile you used for the main game.

What do people do which just started the game and first look into the driving academy?
As you can not change settings there and no prior profiles exist.........

[Ryu]

You can change profiles just like you could before, that didn't change. And if you only had one profile, you'd not be able to change without creating a new profile, just like before.

But it is not related to any particular profile and thus that academy directory should be at the same level in the structure as profiles and screenshot, not buried within a profile.

Your progress in Driving Academy is profile specific, just like your progress in the regular game is profile specific. Once you've selected a profile to use, you then have the option of which module to play: Continue Career (regular game) and Driving Academy.

We just never had any other option before, but game progress was always this way.

I guess we could argue this one around in circles, but since SCS chose to store the data where they did you must be right. Feels odd to me but hey ho.

Maybe they put it there for future plans like.....replacing the current ingame tutorial.
Would be the only thing which would make sense why the save location & configs are used from existing profiles without further notice

For all you to know, There is academy_book_states.sii file in:
profiles>xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>academy, I used only 1 profile in academy and i got several, Only in one profile files i have this academy_book_states.sii file in academy folder

[Ryu]

SCS hinted that there may be more "modules" added to the game. My first thought of a third addition would be the long awaited "Bus Driving". Having that dovetail into the map without interfering with the normal truck game seems much more likely now than when they would have had to have us all buying buses on our truck profiles. ;)
